We need more Atlas Trees, we have so many strats and the game gets stale fast!

why does it cost to respec anything in the game. Why shouldn't we just be able to change a marauder into a shadow if i want to play shadow? I should have that option if i dont want to do the campaign again.


wow......that would destroy a fundamental pillar of, not just this game, but ALL rpgs that have ever existed. And not even just rpgs lol, pretty much 90% of all classes of computer games.

Don't conflate "repetitive campaign" issues with player class.

The whole point of choosing a class is......CHOOSING a class. That is who you are.

How in the world can you say that with a straight face, and be a fan of this game and this genre?


That's like saying "why do we need loot? Why can't we just pick up gold and get all our gear from a premade store". Uh.....because that's literally THE GAME.

poe is one of the most classless game out there where you could use almost any skill as long as you have the stats.

but it is not truly classless. personally i would prefer if poe made players start out a single starting point and could ascend to different classes. this way we can have like what you say, respeccing a marauder into a shadow.

but poe is NOT that kind of game. undecember is that kind of game.

as for campaign skips. i am not against it. tho i would say a reasonable compromise is in every new reset league, you need to finish the campaign ONCE before you unlock the ability to skip the campaign. for newer characters, you will be locked out from maps until you hit level 66, but can freely tp to any campaign areas to level (WP unlocks are league and account bound so if you've unlocked a wp using any character in a new reset league it unlocks the wp for all subsequent league characters).

if you're asking rhetorically then just ignore whatever i said.

im just making fun of anyone that is here demanding more atlas trees even though ggg just gave us 3 to choose from not too many leagues ago.

People have forgotten the atlas of the zones and watchstones from maven invitations. This is way better. some people just have no idea or no memory.

I kinda thought you were being sarcastic but it was hard to tell, because I got into exactly this argument in another thread recently on respeccing out of an entire class...sarcasm is hard on the forum without some kinda winky face or symbol.


@Exsea: the reason this game has sustained for 12 years, and will continue, is largely due to the fact that you HAVE to create new characters. If that didn't exist and everyone started out as the "same" class and had respec-able ascendancies for everything under the sun......the game would absolutely implode.

Classes also serve as an EXCELLENT focuser/limiter and direction for newer players that will undoubtedly be overwhelmed by the passive tree if we all started in one place with like 30+ ascendancy and double-ascendancy options available to us. It would also require a total rework and a huge dumbing-down of the passive tree as well, so that generic stuff is in the center and more "fun" stuff is way far out on the sides. That would SUCK.
